ACE Description

US higher education interest in India is at an all-time high and the potential for engagement with Indian counterparts holds exciting possibilities for many US colleges and universities. Many institutional leaders across the United States have identified India as a "strategic priority," yet relatively few have at their fingertips the most current and reliable information about this immense, diverse and complex country.

The ACE Center for Internationalization and Global Engagment held an interactive webinar of higher education in India. This webinar and the accompanying printed brief explore the most timely and substantive issues that help define India’s higher education profile, as well as what all of this means for US higher education interests in that country.

The webinar featured three presentations by expert panelists, followed by a question and answer period. Topics addressed include:

An Overview of Indian Higher Education: Key issues and critical challenges

Engaging with the World: Legislative and policy developments for partnerships and collaborations
